Letters Patent No. 87,499, dated March 2,1869; antedated Februar/ry 27, 1869. I

IMPROVED FLY-NET FQR- HORSES.

. The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the name.

To all 'whom fit may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL B. KLINE, of IiIechanics-4 `being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this speciication, in which- Figure 1 is a top view of a section of a net.

Figure 2 is a bottom view of the same.v

Figure 3 is a crosssection of arib, showing the loopstitch. Y

The nature ofv my'invention consistsrin so constructing 'a fly-net for horses, that, while equally simple and cheap, it is more durable than any now in use, and is fully described below'.

In the annexed drawingsa a represent the ribs, having near each edge a row of holes, b b', one-half inch apart, and the rows so arranged that aline passing across, or at a right angle to the rib, 'may intersect one hole in each'row. c c represent the lashes, or strands, by means of which the ribs are connected together. 'I h'ey are secured to the ribs by a double. loop-stitch, which is formed by passing one end downward through a'11ole, b, upward rthrough the opposite one, bf, downward again through tlle rst hole b, and upwarda second time through the last hole 11.', when, upon being drawn tight, a stitch or loop is formed with a single strand upon the top, and a double strand upon the bottom of the rib, as shown in tig. 3.

A net constructed in this manner, is easily made, cheaper, and moredurable than any in use, as there is no possibility of the loops or stitches slipping While in use, and thereby deranging'the net, and rendering vit useless for the purpose, intended.

. Having thus fully set forth the nature and merits of my improvement, i'

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The double loop or stitch, when used in constructing fiy-nets, substantially as and for the 'purpose herein shown and described.

tially as shown. l

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I-have hereunto set my hand, this 11th d ay of August, 1868.
